Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: Some Classical Results from Graph Theory
19. March, 2025,16:00 - 17:00
A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science, natural sciences, and social sciences in an accessible way.
Some Classical Results from Graph Theory
Graph theory is a mathematical discipline that deals with the study of networks, that is, objects consisting of “vertices” and the connections between them. In this lecture, we will first define the concept of a graph and introduce some related concepts and definitions. In the continuation of the lecture, we will present some classical results from graph theory concerning Eulerian traversals of graphs, Hamiltonian paths of graphs, matchings in graphs, and more. Some of these results will also be proved.
About the lecturer: Štefko Miklavič completed his master’s degree in 2002 and earned his PhD in 2004 at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in Ljubljana. His research primarily focuses on graph theory and algebraic combinatorics. As an assistant and lecturer, he has collaborated with the Polytechnic (now the University) of Nova Gorica and the Faculty of Education in Koper. In 2007, as a Fulbright scholar, he conducted research for six months at the University of Wisconsin (USA). From 2010 to 2011, he served as Director of the UP Andrej Marušič Institute, and from November 2011 to December 2015, he was Vice-Rector for Research and Development at the University of Primorska.
